Thank you, Mr. T Robot for your quote and such a nice introduction to today's prompt.
3. Yellow
Growing up, the paint on my bedroom walls varied among four colors: lavender, pink, yellow and light blue. (So did my Easter dresses, come to think of it.) I never particularly cared for the yellow years; my love affair with purple goes way, way back.
My mother once said that whenever she thought of Briton, she pictured him at the back door of the house I grew up in. He was waiting for his dad to bring something in from the car, and he was wearing a yellow button-shoulder one piece shorts thing with a train embroidered on the chest. She said that was always the image that came to her mind. I was in the kitchen with her, and I remember the moment vividly. I can see him stretching up a little to open the door for Dale. He looked good in yellow.
I've never had a lot of yellow in my wardrobe, nor a lot of yellow things. I don't dislike it, in fact, I find it a sort of calming color. Yellow falls around you like a soft day. Too bad we don't see it more often.

What a great post. Isn't it interesting how some images stick with us...and that sometimes color plays an important part.
I do not look good in yellows at all. I can wear gold but not yellow. I love a yellow kitchen So cheerful!
